4 Things Healthcare Facilities Should Know About Medical Device Recalls

More than 4 million recalled medical devices may harm patients in 2021. And that’s just what we can see has been “posted” on the FDA site through June 25, 2021. The number of medical device recalls issued halfway through 2021 is far higher than in the previous five years. Healthcare facilities are now facing both a higher number of recalls and a shortage of essential medical devices and products.  The FDA has noted that recalled medical devices caused almost 100,000 deaths between 2008

How Healthcare Can Weaponize Data to Fight Worldwide Disease

How Healthcare Can Weaponize Data to Fight Worldwide Disease

After more than a year since COVID-19 became a global pandemic, we now understand that part of the challenge in fighting it, and any infectious disease, is solving the underlying data problem. Without reliable data, leaders can’t plan, epidemiologists can’t model, and citizens don’t feel confident following expert recommendations. Bad data has led to both poor behavioral and policy-oriented decisions, exacerbating COVID-19 and prolonging its consequences. It’s not purely a data problem,

How Digitizing AP Can Pay Dividends to Healthcare Organizations

Innovations in telehealth and other forms of remote care have dominated the tech focus of many healthcare organizations over the last year. But behind the scenes, business process automation has also been a big area of attention as CFOs look for new ways to reduce costs without impacting patient care. According to a Deloitte 2020 survey, cost reduction was an increased strategic priority for 83% of healthcare CFOs.  One of those cost reduction areas is Accounts Payable (AP). Recent

Leveraging SDOH in Post-Pandemic Risk Modeling to Overcome Distorted Care Projections for 2021 and Beyond

The uncertainty and risk created by pandemic-related disruptions in care have health plans in uncharted water when it comes to relying on claims data and utilization patterns to inform their risk models. But while these disruptions weakened the reliability of traditional risk models, they also created opportunities to deepen and enrich member data by leveraging consumer and other data related to social determinants of health (SDoH) that can deliver significant performance and accuracy

Real-World Data Flow – The Only Way to Change Value-Based Care?

by Manan Sheth, Sr. Technical Product Manager at CitiusTech 09/02/2021 Leave a Comment

Real-World Data Flow - The Only Way to Change Value-Based Care?

Healthcare interoperability issues have always been confusing, changing, and difficult to address. The reason why is not straightforward: we have a fragmented health system with a myriad of specialized applications that are not universally used. Instead, we have a system where each organization elects which technology tools to use and in what configuration. Compounding this fragmented system is the push to value-based care (VBC). As more organizations shift their focus to VBC models, the need

This negatively impacts enrollment efficiency and overall study timelines.  Enter patient referral platforms. The growth of these third-party services has helped bridge the knowledge gap for both

by Troy Ament, Field CISO for Healthcare, Fortinet 09/01/2021 Leave a Comment

Is Zero Trust the Remedy to Healthcare’s Ransomware Epidemic?

There’s no sugarcoating it: healthcare has a serious ransomware problem. And it’s not a new problem for this sector. In fact, the first-ever such attack targeted the industry in 1989 when 20,000 floppy disks infected with ransomware were given to those who attended the World Health Organization’s AIDS Conference.  So, the problem isn’t new, but it is getting worse. Ransomware has exploded in the past several years across almost every sector, but healthcare has definitely been one of the
